Planning an Accessible Event

As an event planner, you have an ethical and legal responsibility to ensure that people with disabilities are able to attend and participate in your event. Wheaton’s obligation to consider the needs of participants with disabilities extends to any event sponsored by the College, student organizations, departments, or groups whether held on or off campus and whether or not members of the public are invited to attend.

This page offers helpful tools to assist you in this planning process and the staff of Disability Services is always available to work with any event planner.
